ELLE 18 GLOW COMPACT –MARBLE REVIEW

Hi girls there? Today I start my first post with a budget friendly product "Elle18 glow compact in marble shade".Already I have my favorite MAC powder foundation,skin finish natural and lakme compact,still I was in hunt for some go to compact that can be slipped into my handbag for outdoors.I have a soft corner on Elle18 products from my teenage,since they are affordable,decent quality and performance.When I read about the new range of products launching,I rushed to nearby supermarket,picked this glow compact.So,you please read further whether it turns yay or nay to me.
Product description:

Whether it’s a party you are excited to go to or the college fest you want to be part of, the Glow Compact gives you that extra ‘oomph’ to dazzle everyone with your radiance.

My take on ELLE 18 GLOW COMPACT –MARBLE:
First thing I fallen in love with this is the compact comes in a black sleek package,attractive enough to grab with out any second thought.It  is so droolworthy with cute girl image on the lid.The smell reminds me exactly like lakme compact does.Texture also similar to compare with.powder puff provided with the compact is not so good quality,similar to lakme compact.The shade marble is in a way paler than my complexion.But I use it with a powder brush  with light hand,that gives me a bright complexion atleast for two hours that I always wanted during wedding and festival seasons. The very next day I wore this to my workplace.It vanished and my face become oily in T zone as usual. I live in a hot and humid place so, I don’t expect this powder stay long on me.When coming to the blending part,it does NOT blend like a dream you have to blend it thoroughly to get a natural look otherwise you may  look ashy.According to me this is a decent product with minimal staying powder,it does not impart any glow to skin ,but gives a fresh matte looks like lakme matte complexion compact.
So,girls those who are looking for a glowing,natural finish,long staying compact I recommend you to save some money,read some reviews and invest .But if you want a compact to slip into your purse or handbag for touchups in between you can opt for this like I did.
 Pros:
  • It will not make a big hole in your pocket,students can easily go with it.
  • Fresh matte look
  • Sleek ,attractive packaging
  • Travel friendly,even in a sleek clutch you can carry this
Cons:
  • Staying power
  • Needs to  blended thoroughly
  • Looks ashy,if wrong shade is chosen
  • Does not impart any glow
Beauty Cabinet score
5/10
Will I recommend this?
Yes,for college going girls,and those who are looking for touchup compact you can go for this.
Will I repurchase?
Yes,I have likes and dislikes with this product.This is so pretty to carry around in my purse.
